Here's the mystery event (I'm guessing). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brett Smith <brett@fsf.org> Date: 24 February 2012 15:00 Subject: Interested in possible FSF events in Melbourne? To: Bianca Gibson <---------@-----> Hi Bianca, My name's Brett Smith; I'm the license compliance engineer at the Free Software Foundation, which means that all kinds of license-related issues pass over my desk -- whether they're for education, advocacy, or bringing violators into compliance. I might be visiting Melbourne in early March to talk to government negotiators about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement about its potential impact on free software developers. Right now plans are still tentative, but we're gauging how much interest there would be for events targeted at free software supporters and others who'd like to learn more about our work. We'd like to hear from you if you'd be interested in attending either or both of: - a speech, open to the public, introducing free software and discussing recent issues in free software licensing, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement - a small fundraising dinner for the FSF, focused on good conversation (come pick my brain!) We're currently looking at March 5 for both these events, but again, these plans are not finalized. If you would be interested in attending either of these events, even if the answer is "It depends," please write back to let me know and help us make an informed decision. If you do, I'll keep you updated on what we decide. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks, -- Brett Smith License Compliance Engineer, Free Software Foundation Do you use free software?
